Tarde Te Amei
Irmã Kelly Patrícia
Late I Loved You
I entered into my innermost self
Under Your guidance and I achieved it
Because You became my help
I entered and saw
With the eyes of the heart
The unchangeable, strong, and bright light
Who knows the truth
Knows this light
O eternal truth
True charity
You are my God
For you I sigh day and night
Since I met You
And then You showed me who You were
You radiated Your strength upon me
Giving me Your love
Late I loved You, late I loved You
O Beauty so ancient and so new
Behold, You were within and I outside, and I outside
Things held me far from You
That would not exist except in You
You were with me and not I with You, and not I with You
You called, you cried out for me and banished my deafness
You shone, you shone upon me
Casting away my darkness
You exhaled fragrance and I breathed
You touched me and I burned for Your peace
